A GREAT INDIAN CHIEF AND HIS
LAST RESTING PLACE.

Some Indian History and Some Incidents
in the Life of the Great Chief That
Are Thoroughly Characteristic - Red
Jackets HOme-His Monument.
Especial Correspondence
BUFFALO, N. Y, April IA few days
ago, in strolling through the Buffalo courts,
l noticed the name of Nicholas Jem-
ison as defendant in a criminal action.
! was interested, for the name Jemison to
student of Indian history is always interest
ing Four miles from Buffalo is the old In
dian burying ground, once the last resting
place of the chiefs of the Senecas. A little to
the north of the entrance was the grave Of
Red Jacket. On the opposite side was a soli-
tary white stone marking the grave of "The
White Woman" Mary Jemison. Here they
lay, stern warriors sleeping beside their feeble
victim. Old Tom Jemison, the character Of
early days on the Niagara frontier, had son
Chauncey, who was educated at Hamilton
college and married white girl there. My
acquaintance of the criminal court is lineal
descendant of "The White Woman" The
young man is perfect specimen Of the Sen
ecas; and queer thing about him, I find, is
that he has, contrary to the customs Of his
people, adopted a trade and supports himself
as a carpenter.
The event of the century to Buffalo lovers
of Indian lore was the burial of Red Jacket
The proposition was made as far back as
1868 by Chief Strong. His burning words
were not forgotten: Gather up tenderly the
bones of Red Jacket, Cornplanter, Young
King, Pollard and their brother chieftains
and bury them in yonder cemetery, where
the plow of the husbandman will not invade
their repose. There in sight of their own
beautiful river, and under the shadow Of the
trees they loved so much, our sachems will
sleep we'll"
The reinterment took place on Oct. g. 1884.

Nations of the Iroquois was held, accom-
panied by affecting ceremonies. Red Jackets
casket was opened and his bones were viewed
for the last time. The next morning six

RED Jackets HOME.

One day he was seated with Joseph Ellicott,
agent for the Holland Land company, on a
log, one end of which rested in Little Buffalo
creek. They were discussing the proposed
sale by the Indians to the company of large
tract of land. "You want it ALL" said Red
Jacket. II and my people are on the water
side of the log. You say, Get along little
and we move. Another man says the same
thing, and again we edge along. A third one
makes the request, and we go. We shall go
on and on until we 60 into the water, and
that will be the last of u.s."
In 1925 when the distinguished Lafayette
visited Buffalo, Red Jacket was yet alive,
and when the platform was erected in Main
street on the day of the reception to the SOL
diers, it was planned so that Lafayette stood
in the middle, his son at the left and the ora
tor of the Senecas on the right. Red Jacket
made speech through an interpreter. He
spoke English better than any man
who dared face him in debate but when
there was an occasion for putting on style
he thought his majesty was better preserved
by using an interpreter. At this time his
bronzed seal was destitute of hair, while the
distinguished Frenchman was in no better
shape, yet the effects of old age in his case
were hidden by q wig. Red Jacket could not
understand it, and was only convinced of the
deception by being allowed to examine the
head gear.
In 1920 an old squaw of the Senecas was
convicted of witchcraft and was condemned
to be tomahawked on the Lower Terrace.
She had been decoyed over from Canada for
the purpose. The executioners appointed
shrank from their duty, which so disguised
old Tony Jimy that he snatched the tom
ahawk and buried it in the woman's skull.
He was indicted in the oyer and ter1niner Of

Mr.. A. J. Balfour, who has lately succeeded
Sir Michael Hicks Beach as chief secretary
for Ireland, and is therefore the active man in
the new scheme of repression proposed, is
emnently fitted for good works; but there is
already too much reason to fear that the

little budget of news for publication.
But as our people are full of energy
and enterprise we like for the world
to know what we are doing.
We are very much interested in
having railroad through here, as we
have fertile country all around us
and an abundance of coal and timber
near by which would make money
more plentiful and our industrious
and enterprising people would open
their hearts and pocket booksif they
thought there would be a road run
here. And not only this but it would
enhance the value of our farm pro-
ducts, which would be of great bene-
fit to our farmers. Well, guess we
have said enough about the railroad
for this time, as some of our citizens
might keep their stock up at night
for fear the train would run over
them.

The New Bon Air.

Sparta Expositor.
Gen. Dibrell, Maj. Foster and Mr..
j. M. Overton went up on the noun
tain last Saturday to select a new site
for the town of Bon Air, which will
be built as soon as the road is finish
ed. The site selected is about 300
yards north of the old site, which
makes better location and presents
finer view of the whole country,
giving view of the Cherry Creek
and Calf Killer country which the old
site does not give. 1t also has finer
water. The ground will be cleared
off and Maj. Foster will shortly lay
off the town into lots and streets, and
some time in May it is proposed to
have public sale of lots and a big
excursion from Nashville to attend
the sale. The Bon Air Co. intend to
build two-story hotel with an OBJ
servatory, from which can be had one
of the finest views to be found in the
South.

standing on bank of earth by the
road he made grab at Keele's collar.
Just as he was grasping the collar,
Keele let him have blow on the
cheek with that sledge-hammer fist
that he usually carries about with
him, which staggered the stranger
backward and caused him to loose his
grip on the collar. Recovering he re-
newed the attack but this time Keele
kicked at his assailant, and losing his
balance he fell to the ground. In an
instant he was on his feet and invited
an attack, but the stranger ignored
the invitation and turned and fled in
an opposite direction. Mr.. Keele
says that he is not positive that he
knows the man, but knows him to
be white man of medium size. We
understand that France Ready was
caught at the same place one night
last summer, but his cries for help
so alarmed his captor that he turned
him loose. The man never uttered a
word during the three encounters.

One night last week while ourGoun-

appearance at the road side and made
an effort to grab the reins of Mr.. DAY.

ness and remained until after dark.

ing to pass the spot where Davenport
had met the suspicious stranger, he

spend the night with Davenport.

thinking but little of what Daven-

PRESERVATION AFTER DEATH.

Electro-plating is essentially the
application Of a perfectly even me-
tallic coating to the entire body by
the same process which produces an
e~lectrotype plate. The effect OBJ
tained is beautiful. The repulsive
corpse is transformed into a glisten-
ing statue Of bronze, gold, or other
metal; form features, and expression
even, being perfectly preserved. Her
metically sealed by this metallic shell
putrifaction is impossible, and the
body merely mummifies. This is not
mere theory, but fact. More than
eleven human corpses have been
treated by this method, and samples
of it's results were on exhibition at
the Paris Expositions Of 1881 and
1S95.-Sdnitary Era.
